Tonight I made my roasted lemon and herb chicken for my family. It was one of Matt's favorite meals.
It was tougher than I had thought it would be, sitting down to eat something he liked so much. But it was therapeutic as well.
We got to laughing over one memory in particular. The first time I made the chicken for him, he was so enamored with the crispy skin that he kept burning his fingers trying to pick pieces of it off.
My daughter requested we make another of his favorite meals next week. So hopefully we can do some more remembering and laughing over a home-cooked meal soon.

We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
